MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 12, 2008 Duray asked what Johnson's plans were for the open storage building. Johnson replied that his plans were to continue to use that storage facility in the same manner as he currently does. He pointed out that this structure provides a good screening mechanism between the union hall and his property use. Duray thought there might be a sunset for the open storage structure, and suggested that its status be researched for the Council meeting. The City Planner did not recollect that there was a sunset for that building. Socha asked about the City Engineer's recommendations for curbing and drainage. The Planner indicated that the recommendations are standard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Johnson reported that his engineer has submitted additional drainage information to the City Engineer in response to his report. Therefore, drainage issues raised by the City Engineer will be addressed. With regard to curbing, Johnson stated that he did not want to install curbing between the two buildings. He indicated that curbing in this area would cause water problems, trapping run -off from the roof behind the curb and forcing it into the buildings. Johnson pointed out that the level of the curbing would be higher than the building floor. Johnson stated that he did not want to gutter the buildings, indicating that he has had problems with gutters on metal buildings in the past. Johnson stated that he did not see the purpose of the curbing in this area. The City Planner reported that the City Engineer is quoting the code. He noted that the curbing requirement around the building is to protect the metal building from vehicles running into it. The Planner agreed that the building floor would be higher than the curbing, and this would be a problem. The Planner suggested that concrete or steel posts may be a solution to protecting the building. The Planner stated that curbing in the parking lot areas was necessary. Duray suggested that Johnson and his engineer work with the City Engineer to address the issues he has raised. Duray felt that the plan presented was a nice upgrade to the building. He recommended that the materials used on the lower band of the building be changed to the veneer brick as indicated by Johnson. Duray recommended approval of the Amendment to PUD Permit allowing for the expansion of an existing metal building using similar materials to provide for new office and restrooms as well as increase warehouse space at 3225 Country Drive as proposed by Cad Johnson, Drywall Supply, subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated June 6, 2008, with the additional condition that the lower -5-
